Drew, D'Backs down Rockies
Baseball Betting Lines
05/14/2008 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stephen Drew clubbed a three-run home run to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks past the Colorado Rockies, 8-4 in the opener of a three-game set.
Orlando Hudson went 2-for-4, knocked in two runs and scored once for the D'Backs, who snapped their three-game skid, but have recorded victories in just three of their last nine contests. Conor Jackson, Mark Reynolds and Chris Burke had an RBI apiece in the win.
Randy Johnson (3-1) got the win, despite giving up four runs on nine hits in five innings. The Arizona bullpen pitched four frames of three-hit ball.
Garrett Atkins went 2-for-5 with a solo homer for the Rockies, who have dropped three contests in a row. Ryan Spilborghs had two doubles and also scored, while Jeff Baker knocked in a pair of runs. Jonathan Herrera went 2- for-4 and had the other Colorado RBI.
Jeff Francis (0-4) took the loss after he was roughed up for eight runs on 13 hits in just 4 2/3 innings of work.
Arizona got on the board in the first. Chris Young and Drew led off with back- to-back singles, and Hudson followed suit with an RBI single to make it first and third. Jackson added another single to plate Drew. Three batters later, Reynolds singled to bring around Hudson, and the D'Backs had a 3-0 lead after one inning.
Colorado got one back in the second. Atkins led off with a single, moved to third on Spilborghs' double and crossed home on a Baker sac fly to center, to bring the Rockies within 3-1.
The D'Backs added some insurance in the second, as Johnson and Young clubbed back-to-back singles to open the frame. Drew then made it a five-run cushion as he belted a three-run homer -- his fifth of the year -- over the fence in right.
The Rockies inched their way closer in the fourth. Atkins led off with a homer and Spilborghs slugged a double. After advancing to third on a balk, Spilborghs crossed home on a Baker single. Yorvit Torrealba followed with a single and Herrera brought Baker home with a base hit of his own. The surge brought Colorado within 6-4.
Young cracked a double in the home fourth, and scored on Hudson's single to right field. The D'Backs increased their cushion to three runs after four innings.
Arizona made it 8-4 in the fifth. Justin Upton singled and moved to third on Miguel Montero's single, before crossing home when Burke singled to right.

Teams that should be in: Stanford
Oregon and USC get their tickets punched after taking care of business this weekend. Yes, the Trojans' computer numbers aren't great, but there's no way the third-place team in this league is getting nixed. Grudgingly, I added Arizona after consultation with our Bracketologist. I don't know that Arizona will lose its last three (including a Pac-10 quarterfinal game), and even if the Cats do, I still can't see how they'd be left out, given the overall profile. That said, it bears watching, as three more L's would leave them at 18-12 (9-9) and on a 6-11 skid entering the Dance. It would be nice to see the Wildcats get at least one W in the Bay Area next week, as Cincinnati (albeit without Armein Kirkland and with a worse profile) was axed after a similar slide last season. I just couldn't rationalize having some of the other teams as locks and not having Arizona in that category -- there just aren't enough good teams behind the Cats to threaten their spot, it seems. Stanford has its fate in its own hands with the Arizona schools coming to the Farm to close out the regular season next weekend.
Should be in:
Stanford [17-10 (9-7), RPI: 40, SOS: 21] No shame in not getting a win in L.A., but that makes the home game against Arizona State a must-win ahead of what could be an intriguing meeting with Arizona should the Cats lose at Cal. Getting to 11 Pac-10 wins would make Selection Sunday much more comfortable, but 10's probably more than enough this season. The Cardinal have nonconference wins over Texas Tech and at Virginia to lean on, although they also lost badly to Air Force and Santa Clara at home.
| Southeastern Conference odds | |
Work left to do: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Mississippi State It looks more and more possible that no one from the SEC West will make the NCAAs. How weird is that? Tennessee and Vandy move into the locks category after more good work this weekend. Kentucky stays there, although it would be smart for the Cats to handle Georgia at home Wednesday ahead of a trip to the Swamp. Could a disaster scenario (two more L's and a first-round SEC tourney exit) somehow dislodge the Cats despite their incredible computer numbers? Still unlikely, but not worth chancing it.
Work left to do: Alabama [19-9 (6-8), RPI: 43, SOS: 47] The tough L at Tennessee was understandable, and even created some hope. Unfortunately, that hope was dashed by a home loss to Auburn, which leaves the Tide in some real trouble. There's still no signature win on the profile (no, Kentucky doesn't count), and the computer profile is weakening rapidly. The Tide conceivably could beat Ole Miss and win at Miss. State to get to 8-8 and clinch at least a share of the West crown, but that's probably not enough right now. The Tide will need to do some work in the SEC tourney. Georgia [16-10 (8-6), RPI: 52, SOS: 23] This is the team with the best chance to make it from this section right now. The Bulldogs rebounded from a terrible performance at Ole Miss to beat down Miss. State. Now they are at Kentucky (king of the RPI 51-100 win) and home to Tennessee. That would be worth a lot of computer points to get both (which is doable), as both teams are in the top 11 in RPI. Finishing at least 9-7 is an absolute must, and I would feel much better about the Dawgs' chances if they got both to get to 10 SEC wins. They also beat Gonzaga, but lost to ACC bubblers Georgia Tech and Clemson. Mississippi [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 63, SOS: 79] Like everyone else in this division, Ole Miss gacked up a chance to stake a claim, losing by double figures at South Carolina. Even 9-7 likely is not nearly enough with a nonconference profile devoid of anything notable. Mississippi State [16-11 (7-7), RPI: 66, SOS: 37] With a chance to get in the mix, these Bulldogs were leashed by their Georgia counterparts. Could they get to 9-7? I guess -- although winning at Arkansas, then beating Alabama is no lock -- but would that mean all that much for a team with this overall profile? Probably not. There's nothing of note (on the good side) in the nonconference profile. |
